Abstract

In accordance with the present invention, a fuel/oxygen solution is provided for use in the operation of any type of combustion chamber. Operationally, the fuel/oxygen solution is created by a solvent which includes a hydrocarbon based fuel that has been treated with an electromagnetically modified ethanol additive, and a solute that includes paramagnetic oxygen molecules. Chemically, the solvent additive has increased InterMolecular Forces (IMFs) and dispersion forces for hydrocarbon molecules in a treated fuel to make these respective forces effectively comparable with IMFs and dispersion forces of a solute of paramagnetic oxygen molecules. Thus, when atomized in a combustion chamber, the treated fuel acts as a more efficient solvent for dissolving oxygen from the air, to thereby create the fuel/oxygen solution for use in the combustion chamber.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A fuel/oxygen solution for use in a combustion chamber which comprises:
 a first solvent including ethanol molecules having dipoles with a first polarity, wherein the first solvent is a solution of ethanol and water wherein the percentage of water in the ethanol-water solution is in a range between 2% and 7%; 
 a first solute including metallic ions having a permanent charge, wherein the first solute is dissolved in the first solvent to formulate a metallic ion solution, and wherein the metallic ion solution is radiated with an electromagnetic wave to create adducts therein for an additive, wherein the adducts in the additive have dipoles with a second polarity and wherein the second polarity of dipoles in the additive is greater than the first polarity of dipoles in the first solvent; 
 a hydrocarbon based fuel, wherein the additive is dissolved into the hydrocarbon based fuel to create a treated fuel; and 
 air, including paramagnetic oxygen molecules, wherein the paramagnetic oxygen molecules are dissolved as a second solute in the treated fuel to form the fuel/oxygen solution when the treated fuel is atomized in air inside the combustion chamber. 
 
     
     
       2. The fuel/oxygen solution recited in  claim 1  wherein the first solute includes the metallic ions of a mineral selected from the group consisting of potassium, aluminum, boron and iron. 
     
     
       3. The fuel/oxygen solution recited in  claim 1  wherein each adduct is an unbonded inclusion complex containing charged particles of a metallic ion and molecules in a shell of ethanol and water. 
     
     
       4. The fuel/oxygen solution recited in  claim 1  wherein the electromagnetic wave has operational parameters including a predetermined wavelength λ, a predetermined energy Ε, and a predetermined time duration Δt. 
     
     
       5. The fuel/oxygen solution recited in  claim 4  wherein the predetermined wavelength λ is in a range between 10 −7  m and 10 −8  m wherein the predetermined energy Ε is in a range between 150 kJ/mol and 300 kJ/mol. 
     
     
       6. The fuel/oxygen solution recited in  claim 4  wherein the metallic ion solution is radiated for a time duration Δt between one and two hours. 
     
     
       7. The fuel/oxygen solution recited in  claim 1  wherein the treated fuel is homogeneous and has a constituent concentration in a range of 1 to 5 parts additive per more than 20,000 parts hydrocarbon fuel. 
     
     
       8. The fuel/oxygen solution recited in  claim 1  selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon fuel, jet fuel, aviation fuel and diesel fuel. 
     
     
       9. A fuel/oxygen solution for use in a combustion chamber which comprises:
 a first solvent including ethanol molecules having dipoles with a first polarity; 
 a first solute including metallic ions having a permanent charge, wherein the first solute is dissolved in the first solvent to formulate a metallic ion solution, and wherein the metallic ion solution is radiated with an electromagnetic wave to create adducts therein for an additive, wherein the electromagnetic wave has operational parameters including a predetermined wavelength λ, a predetermined energy Ε, and a predetermined time duration Δt, wherein the adducts in the additive have dipoles with a second polarity and wherein the second polarity of dipoles in the additive is greater than the first polarity of dipoles in the first solvent; 
 a hydrocarbon based fuel, wherein the additive is dissolved into the hydrocarbon based fuel to create a treated fuel; and 
 air, including paramagnetic oxygen molecules, wherein the paramagnetic oxygen molecules are dissolved as a second solute in the treated fuel to form the fuel/oxygen solution when the treated fuel is atomized in air inside the combustion chamber.
